On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we had Bob Bucko Jr. – a talented songwriter and adventurous experimental musician based out of Dubuque, Iowa – join us in the studio for a live session and for a brief chat. Bob has put out numerous releases on his own Personal Archives label and has had a few well-received full-length LPs out on Captcha Records over the past few years. His musical output covers a broad sonic landscape: from free jazz and improvisation, to electronic and drone music, and on to more singer-songwriter-oriented material. Bob has another album due out on Captcha Records in the months ahead, along with a few other releases that are in the works, and he is currently out on tour over the next few weeks playing dates throughout the Midwest and parts of the East Coast. Check out the live dates listed below and do whatever you can to go out and see him play.

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments.
